Sylvania School

Summary:

Sylvania School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Sylvania, Alabama, with a student population of 945 as of the 2022-2023 school year. This school is part of the DeKalb County school district, which is ranked 78 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the most unique aspects of Sylvania School is its significantly higher percentage of Native American students (16.08%) compared to the state average (0.7%) and the nearby schools like Geraldine School, Ider School, and Valley Head High School. Additionally, Sylvania School outperforms the DeKalb County and Alabama state averages in several key test score metrics, particularly in English/Language Arts, with a 3rd grade English proficiency rate of 57.63% compared to the state average of 62.8%.

However, Sylvania School faces some challenges as well. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.51% to 58.86% over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's performance on mathematics assessments is generally lower than the state and county averages, particularly in the upper grades, suggesting a need to focus on improving math instruction and support for students. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student at $9,320, the high free/reduced lunch rates indicate that the student population faces significant economic challenges that may impact their academic performance and educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
